Numbers Chapter 16 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Now Korah, <H7141> the son <H1121> of Izhar, <H3324> the son <H1121> of Kohath, <H6955> the son <H1121> of Levi, <H3878> and Dathan <H1885> and Abiram, <H0048> the sons <H1121> of Eliab, <H0446> and On, <H0203> the son <H1121> of Peleth, <H6431> sons <H1121> of Reuben, <H7205> took <H3947> [men]:
2: And they rose up <H6965> before <H6440> Moses, <H4872> with certain <H0582> of the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> two hundred <H3967> and fifty <H2572> princes <H5387> of the assembly, <H5712> famous <H7148> in the congregation, <H4150> men <H0582> of renown: <H8034>
3: And they gathered themselves together <H6950> against Moses <H4872> and against Aaron, <H0175> and said <H0559> unto them, [Ye take] too much <H7227> upon you, seeing all the congregation <H5712> [are] holy, <H6918> every one of them, and the LORD <H3068> [is] among <H8432> them: wherefore then lift ye up <H5375> yourselves above the congregation <H6951> of the LORD? <H3068>
4: And when Moses <H4872> heard <H8085> [it], he fell <H5307> upon his face: <H6440>
5: And he spake <H1696> unto Korah <H7141> and unto all his company, <H5712> saying, <H0559> Even to morrow <H1242> the LORD <H3068> will shew <H3045> who [are] his, and [who is] holy; <H6918> and will cause [him] to come near <H7126> unto him: even [him] whom he hath chosen <H0977> will he cause to come near <H7126> unto him.
6: This do; <H6213> Take <H3947> you censers, <H4289> Korah, <H7141> and all his company; <H5712>
7: And put <H5414> fire <H0784> therein, <H2004> and put <H7760> incense <H7004> in them before <H6440> the LORD <H3068> to morrow: <H4279> and it shall be [that] the man <H0376> whom the LORD <H3068> doth choose, <H0977> he [shall be] holy: <H6918> [ye take] too much <H7227> upon you, ye sons <H1121> of Levi. <H3878>
8: And Moses <H4872> said <H0559> unto Korah, <H7141> Hear, <H8085> I pray you, ye sons <H1121> of Levi: <H3878>
9: [Seemeth it but] a small thing <H4592> unto you, that the God <H0430> of Israel <H3478> hath separated <H0914> you from the congregation <H5712> of Israel, <H3478> to bring you near <H7126> to himself to do <H5647> the service <H5656> of the tabernacle <H4908> of the LORD, <H3068> and to stand <H5975> before <H6440> the congregation <H5712> to minister <H8334> unto them?
10: And he hath brought thee near <H7126> [to him], and all thy brethren <H0251> the sons <H1121> of Levi <H3878> with thee: and seek <H1245> ye the priesthood <H3550> also?
11: For which cause <H3651> [both] thou and all thy company <H5712> [are] gathered together <H3259> against the LORD: <H3068> and what [is] Aaron, <H0175> that ye murmur <H3885> against him?
12: And Moses <H4872> sent <H7971> to call <H7121> Dathan <H1885> and Abiram, <H0048> the sons <H1121> of Eliab: <H0446> which said, <H0559> We will not come up: <H5927>
13: [Is it] a small thing <H4592> that thou hast brought us up <H5927> out of a land <H0776> that floweth <H2100> with milk <H2461> and honey, <H1706> to kill <H4191> us in the wilderness, <H4057> except <H3588> thou make thyself altogether <H8323> a prince <H8323> over us?
14: Moreover <H0637> thou hast not brought <H0935> us into a land <H0776> that floweth <H2100> with milk <H2461> and honey, <H1706> or given <H5414> us inheritance <H5159> of fields <H7704> and vineyards: <H3754> wilt thou put out <H5365> the eyes <H5869> of these men? <H0582> we will not come up. <H5927>
15: And Moses <H4872> was very <H3966> wroth, <H2734> and said <H0559> unto the LORD, <H3068> Respect <H6437> not thou their offering: <H4503> I have not taken <H5375> one <H0259> ass <H2543> from them, neither have I hurt <H7489> one <H0259> of them.
16: And Moses <H4872> said <H0559> unto Korah, <H7141> Be thou and all thy company <H5712> before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> thou, and they, and Aaron, <H0175> to morrow: <H4279>
17: And take <H3947> every man <H0376> his censer, <H4289> and put <H5414> incense <H7004> in them, and bring <H7126> ye before <H6440> the LORD <H3068> every man <H0376> his censer, <H4289> two hundred <H3967> and fifty <H2572> censers; <H4289> thou also, and Aaron, <H0175> each <H0376> [of you] his censer. <H4289>
18: And they took <H3947> every man <H0376> his censer, <H4289> and put <H5414> fire <H0784> in them, and laid <H7760> incense <H7004> thereon, and stood <H5975> in the door <H6607> of the tabernacle <H0168> of the congregation <H4150> with Moses <H4872> and Aaron. <H0175>
19: And Korah <H7141> gathered <H6950> all the congregation <H5712> against them unto the door <H6607> of the tabernacle <H0168> of the congregation: <H4150> and the glory <H3519> of the LORD <H3068> appeared <H7200> unto all the congregation. <H5712>
20: And the LORD <H3068> spake <H1696> unto Moses <H4872> and unto Aaron, <H0175> saying, <H0559>
21: Separate <H0914> yourselves from among <H8432> this congregation, <H5712> that I may consume <H3615> them in a moment. <H7281>
22: And they fell <H5307> upon their faces, <H6440> and said, <H0559> O God, <H0410> the God <H0430> of the spirits <H7307> of all flesh, <H1320> shall one <H0259> man <H0376> sin, <H2398> and wilt thou be wroth <H7107> with all the congregation? <H5712>
23: And the LORD <H3068> spake <H1696> unto Moses, <H4872> saying, <H0559>
24: Speak <H1696> unto the congregation, <H5712> saying, <H0559> Get you up <H5927> from about <H5439> the tabernacle <H4908> of Korah, <H7141> Dathan, <H1885> and Abiram. <H0048>
25: And Moses <H4872> rose up <H6965> and went <H3212> unto Dathan <H1885> and Abiram; <H0048> and the elders <H2205> of Israel <H3478> followed <H3212> <H0310> him.
26: And he spake <H1696> unto the congregation, <H5712> saying, <H0559> Depart, <H5493> I pray you, from the tents <H0168> of these wicked <H7563> men, <H0582> and touch <H5060> nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed <H5595> in all their sins. <H2403>
27: So they gat up <H5927> from the tabernacle <H4908> of Korah, <H7141> Dathan, <H1885> and Abiram, <H0048> on every side: <H5439> and Dathan <H1885> and Abiram <H0048> came out, <H3318> and stood <H5324> in the door <H6607> of their tents, <H0168> and their wives, <H0802> and their sons, <H1121> and their little children. <H2945>
28: And Moses <H4872> said, <H0559> Hereby ye shall know <H3045> that the LORD <H3068> hath sent <H7971> me to do <H6213> all these works; <H4639> for [I have] not [done them] of mine own mind. <H3820>
29: If these men die <H4191> the common death <H4194> of all men, <H0120> or if they be visited <H6485> after the visitation <H6486> of all men; <H0120> [then] the LORD <H3068> hath not sent <H7971> me.
30: But if the LORD <H3068> make <H1254> a new thing, <H1278> and the earth <H0127> open <H6475> her mouth, <H6310> and swallow them up, <H1104> with all that [appertain] unto them, and they go down <H3381> quick <H2416> into the pit; <H7585> then ye shall understand <H3045> that these men <H0582> have provoked <H5006> the LORD. <H3068>
31: And it came to pass, as he had made an end <H3615> of speaking <H1696> all these words, <H1697> that the ground <H0127> clave asunder <H1234> that [was] under them:
32: And the earth <H0776> opened <H6605> her mouth, <H6310> and swallowed them up, <H1104> and their houses, <H1004> and all the men <H0120> that [appertained] unto Korah, <H7141> and all [their] goods. <H7399>
33: They, and all that [appertained] to them, went down <H3381> alive <H2416> into the pit, <H7585> and the earth <H0776> closed <H3680> upon them: and they perished <H0006> from among <H8432> the congregation. <H6951>
34: And all Israel <H3478> that [were] round about <H5439> them fled <H5127> at the cry <H6963> of them: for they said, <H0559> Lest the earth <H0776> swallow us up <H1104> [also].
35: And there came out <H3318> a fire <H0784> from the LORD, <H3068> and consumed <H0398> the two hundred <H3967> and fifty <H2572> men <H0376> that offered <H7126> incense. <H7004>
36: And the LORD <H3068> spake <H1696> unto Moses, <H4872> saying, <H0559>
37: Speak <H0559> unto Eleazar <H0499> the son <H1121> of Aaron <H0175> the priest, <H3548> that he take up <H7311> the censers <H4289> out <H0996> of the burning, <H8316> and scatter <H2219> thou the fire <H0784> yonder; <H1973> for they are hallowed. <H6942>
38: The censers <H4289> of these sinners <H2400> against their own souls, <H5315> let them make <H6213> them broad <H7555> plates <H6341> [for] a covering <H6826> of the altar: <H4196> for they offered <H7126> them before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> therefore they are hallowed: <H6942> and they shall be a sign <H0226> unto the children <H1121> of Israel. <H3478>
39: And Eleazar <H0499> the priest <H3548> took <H3947> the brasen <H5178> censers, <H4289> wherewith they that were burnt <H8313> had offered; <H7126> and they were made broad <H7554> [plates for] a covering <H6826> of the altar: <H4196>
40: [To be] a memorial <H2146> unto the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> that <H0834> <H4616> no stranger, <H0376> <H2114> which [is] not of the seed <H2233> of Aaron, <H0175> come near <H7126> to offer <H6999> incense <H7004> before <H6440> the LORD; <H3068> that he be not as Korah, <H7141> and as his company: <H5712> as the LORD <H3068> said <H1696> to him by the hand <H3027> of Moses. <H4872>
41: But on the morrow <H4283> all the congregation <H5712> of the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> murmured <H3885> against Moses <H4872> and against Aaron, <H0175> saying, <H0559> Ye have killed <H4191> the people <H5971> of the LORD. <H3068>
42: And it came to pass, when the congregation <H5712> was gathered <H6950> against Moses <H4872> and against Aaron, <H0175> that they looked <H6437> toward the tabernacle <H0168> of the congregation: <H4150> and, behold, the cloud <H6051> covered <H3680> it, and the glory <H3519> of the LORD <H3068> appeared. <H7200>
43: And Moses <H4872> and Aaron <H0175> came <H0935> before <H6440> the tabernacle <H0168> of the congregation. <H4150>
44: And the LORD <H3068> spake <H1696> unto Moses, <H4872> saying, <H0559>
45: Get you up <H7426> from among <H8432> this congregation, <H5712> that I may consume <H3615> them as in a moment. <H7281> And they fell <H5307> upon their faces. <H6440>
46: And Moses <H4872> said <H0559> unto Aaron, <H0175> Take <H3947> a censer, <H4289> and put <H5414> fire <H0784> therein from off the altar, <H4196> and put <H7760> on incense, <H7004> and go <H3212> quickly <H4120> unto the congregation, <H5712> and make an atonement <H3722> for them: for there is wrath <H7110> gone out <H3318> from <H6440> the LORD; <H3068> the plague <H5063> is begun. <H2490>
47: And Aaron <H0175> took <H3947> as Moses <H4872> commanded, <H1696> and ran <H7323> into the midst <H8432> of the congregation; <H6951> and, behold, the plague <H5063> was begun <H2490> among the people: <H5971> and he put <H5414> on incense, <H7004> and made an atonement <H3722> for the people. <H5971>
48: And he stood <H5975> between the dead <H4191> and the living; <H2416> and the plague <H4046> was stayed. <H6113>
49: Now they that died <H4191> in the plague <H4046> were fourteen <H0702> <H6240> thousand <H0505> and seven <H7651> hundred, <H3967> beside them that died <H4191> about the matter <H1697> of Korah. <H7141>
50: And Aaron <H0175> returned <H7725> unto Moses <H4872> unto the door <H6607> of the tabernacle <H0168> of the congregation: <H4150> and the plague <H4046> was stayed. <H6113>
